Today, the brand is also connected with other non-profits including the Darfur Peace & Development Org, Advocates for Youth, and Yéle Haiti. # # # ABOUT HUMAN INTONATION: Inspired by Verneda White’s personal family experience during Hurricane Katrina and the loss of her 22 year old cousin, James Wesley White, Jr. to AIDS, HUMAN INTONATION is the premium, unisex apparel brand dedicated to raising social awareness while giving 20% of the proceeds from each sale to growing non-profit organizations addressing youth & minority HIV/AIDS prevention, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, education for children in Darfur, and most recently relief for Haiti.
